If you have a friend or colleague that you email constantly, you can create a shortcut on the Desktop so that it opens your default email client with the email address already inserted for you. Just follow these steps to create the shortcut:
1. Right-click on an empty space on the Desktop
2. Select 'New->Shortcut'
3. In the Command line type 'Mailto:example@gmail.com'
(Insert the email address in place of example@gmail.com)
4. Click on the 'Next' button
5. Type in a name for the shortcut
6. Click on the 'Finish' button
Now, when you double-click on the shortcut, your default email client will open up with the email already inserted. Simply write your message and send it off.
